Near the airport. Very comfortable beds and beautiful room. Nice breakfast and great personnel. Being with kids, we preferred staying in this nice location instead of Stone Town which is very crowded and then having a walking tour to Stone Town. Would come again.

Room was nice, clean. Breakfast was ok, nothing great. I arranged for a shuttle pick up as my flight arrived in early hours of the morning 2am. Hotel confirmed everything via email. Unfortunately when i arrived the shuttle did not show up. As a solo female traveller and my first time in Zanzibar, i felt let down, i was fortunate to find a friendly airport porter who assisted me with finding a reputable taxi.

I stayed in the newly built portion of the hotel. The staff were wonderful. The hotel is beautiful. The pool area is a sight to see. This was a solo travel and I felt safe. The elevator will only go to the floor of your room key. This is a plus for safety. You can literally walk from the hotel to the airport. The airport pickup is $10. A but excessive for a hotel that is literally next door. I did however see a couple roaches in the hallway and one in the room, hence why I gave 4 stars instead of 5

Perfect hotel

Fantastic hotel near the airport. It was a bit far from the city center though. We went by taxi and that was okay. The hotel was so calm and nice that we wanted to spend the time there instead of the busy streets. The rooms and area around the hotel was clean. The staff was super friendly and made our stay very good. Cant think of anything to complaint about.

We are currently cycling around the world ( from Australia) The staff were wonderful and did an amazing job helping us to pack our bikes for our flight. A big shout out to Asha and Gift for everything! The rooms were quiet and beds comfy. A bit challenging to work out light switches though. The swimming pool was huge ! Just a quick mention that there’s no bar at the hotel so we got a taxi into stone town which wasn’t a problem for us.

Very nice and clean property. The staff was very nice. There is not a free airport shuttle as it says on the hotel description. There is an outside company that they call which was good and it costs $10.
